Yeah because that’s just what Chelsea need.
£120m for Rice is crazy.

Grealish was 100m at the age of 26.

120m for Rice at 24 isnt bad business at all. Can get 10 years out of him at that age no problem. A future captain too who plays in a key position.

If Grealish was worth it, so is Rice.

Sources close to the club (Sullivan) are now saying a Money plus Player deal could be entertained… So champions league team supporters, who you offering (do not say Mctominay or Fred FFS)

My preference is the Arsenal striker Balogun on loan at Reims.

I'll start the bidding: James Milner and £30!

It's a bit like Bellingham though, neither selling club need to sell so if you want the player you are going to have to pay over the odds for them. No one forces them to pay it......

In the case of Rice, you are also paying an English premium (having to meet the squad numbers at a club)

I agree it is crackers but I don't blame either West Ham or Dortmund for throwing around daft prices.

West Ham can have them BOTH. And, as a little extra bonus, can we interest them in Phil Jones?

Rice is top quality in my opinion. He'd improve almost any side other than City immeasurably. I only exclude them because they have Rodri already. Any other side that can afford him, I agree with this:

Position sorted for the foreseeable future.

I see Alfie Haaland was escorted from the stadium last night, mid game, for taunting the Real Madrid fans. I know he shouldn't really have done it, but it is quite funny (videos on social media). I'm guessing he was on the receiving end of all sorts of abuse before reacting?

What would Lampard be worth at todays prices

What would Lampard be worth at todays prices

A load, as would Gerrard and Scholes.

There's not many clubs in the world paying 100m plus for players though, only 5/6.

Chuck in Darwin Nunez and you got yourself a deal.

Have you seen his performances lately? Doubt he’d be worth much at all!

Milan v Inter.....

What a start!!!

 

[nickjdavis]

...and I will make a prediction....

there will be more goals and it will not end 11 v 11

 

[Deleted member 15344]

That’s surely a dive


How can McManaman been surprised by that and Ferdinand saying it’s stone wall

must admit...yes there was a slight tug but it looked like he tripped over his own feet

Irrespective of the "penalty"...the tie should be put to bed by now....Inter should be out of sight.

The tug was the very slightest touch - nowhere near enough for him to go down like he did - good to see the ref over turn it , does highlight how bad McManaman and Ferdinand are

Inter should be at least 4 clear - Milan clearly missing Leao

Feathers are blown harder than that touch. Unbelievable that Martinez wasn't booked for what was a clear dive.

But how poor are Milan? Got to be the weakest semi-finalists for a long time. How they got past Napoli is a mystery.

Milan have just managed to squeeze past teams using the pace of Leao , he is massive for them

Reckon the players are spending more time on the floor than standing up

 

[Deleted member 18121]

Just seen the pundits discussing the penalty decision..... When you have ex players making excuses like that for a penalty to be given no wonder these things are such a mess.

Player should be booked for diving. End of story .

 

[Pin-seeker]

can’t see Inter or Milan beating City in the final.
Why did they do away with the away goal rule?

 

[clubchamp98]

The quality of diving is nowhere near as good as in the PL.
refs done ok imo.
never a pen as he was going down his eyes never left the ref.

City will walk through both these defences.
ironically what they were good at in the past.
